George Wilson Park open for tubing all week long Savoring some soft snow

December 21, 2005

Tubing is available at George Wilson Park, 2605 Clover Road in Mishawaka, whenever there's four or more inches of snow on the hill. Tanya Heyde, secretary at the parks office, said the hill is open seven days a week, beginning at 10 a.m. for tubers to enjoy the winter weather. "They will remain open until 8 p.m. at least," said Heyde, explaining that if enough people are still tubing, the park may remain open until 10 p.m. instead. Hours remain the same on the weekends, she added. "A warming shelter is available, with an open fireplace and vending machine for hot chocolate and snacks," Heyde said. Admission for Mishawaka residents is $1, with $2 admission for nonresidents. For groups of 10 or more, tubing admission is 50 cents apiece, with tube rental rates remaining at $2 for all customers.
